苔白腻 : White-Sticky / Furry Tongue

Updated: Oct 5, 2023

The tongue will be swollen and have a greasy white coating.


If the tongue remains pale in colour it

suggests cold damp & phlegm retention. Common symptoms for people with cold dampness include eczema, diarrhoea, water retention, arthritis, cold and pains.


Foods such as dairy, sugar, mango, pear, cucumber and melon can

exacerbate this condition.
